Dear Leslie;
I'm so sorry to hear of the passing of Jim, it came as quite a shock. I just finished speaking with my parents who advised me of Jim's passing. Jim was such a good guy and I enjoyed seeing him from time to time and having a good chinwag. I'll always remember my time in the Yukon with Jim as Cox'n (1986). I know it is such a terrible loss and my sincerest condolences to you and your entire family. May Jim rest in peace. From an old friend and neighbour,

Jim had a way about him that you knew he was 101% about everything he did, and said. Many fond memories make Paul and I laugh (and cry)...many very good heart-to-hearts with Jim. He really was someone special. Around him one felt special too; just by something he said or just a wink...Sincere Sympathies to you all, especially Leslie and Granny, Tony + family, and Steven + family.

I was lucky twice in my career to have the pleasure of sailing with Jimmy. Both on the Provider and later on the Yukon. He was a good mate and his humor will be missed.
